Comparing the Switch 2 vs. Switch is no contest. Nintendo's latest console can do everything its predecessor can and more, with new mouse controls, improved graphics, and a ton of upcoming Switch 2 games that wouldn't be possible on the Switch. Once you pick up your new console you will probably want to dive right into Mario Kart World or one of the other launch games, but you shouldn't forget to transfer your data, especially if you plan on selling or giving away your old console. Here's our simple instructions on how to transfer your Switch data to the Switch 2 and everything that carries over.
What you need to transfer your Switch data to your new Switch 2 will obviously be both systems but also a stable internet connection and to have them both plugged in.
We also suggest having a MicroSD card for your Switch 2 if you plan on transferring multiple games. The Switch 2 has a lot more internal storage than the Switch, but you can easily fill it up if you want to move over even a few big games.
Step 1: On your Switch, go to the System Settings Menu.
Step 2: Go down to System and then select System Transfer to Nintendo Switch 2.
Step 3: With your Switch 2 on and also plugged in, first download the day-one system update.
Step 4: Once done, sign in to your Nintendo account.
Step 5: On your original Switch, hit Done.
Step 6: You will be shown a list of all the software on your Switch that will be moved -- not copied -- to your Switch 2.
Step 7: The transfer process will vary depending on how much data you're moving and how strong your internet speeds are, but it only took us around 10 minutes to transfer our account with no games.
You can transfer all your Switch profiles, digital games, save game data, screenshots, videos, and even parental controls via system transfer.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
